By taking part in this event and every bit of support means more victories for our sisters who are unfairly targeted and harassed for their choice of wearing hijab globally. World Hijab Day is a global campaign to promote religious tolerance\, cultural understanding\, and international solidarity. \n\n\n\n\n“To my surprise\, the veil was strangely liberating\, an unapologetic form of self-expression.” – [Joe Galvez\, Catholic\, Philippines] \n\n\n\n\nWHERE IT ALL BEGAN \n\n\n\n\nAt a young age\, Nazma Khan immigrated to New York City from Bangladesh. Not knowing the culture or the language\, Nazma found herself the only one wearing the hijab (headscarf) in middle school\, where she was constantly bullied. This constant discrimination followed her throughout high school and college. After 9/11\, her situation got even worse. Now\, she was being chased down the street and labeled a ‘terrorist’ for being visibly a Muslim. She realized that many women in hijab in different parts of the world were encountering similar discrimination. She wanted to do something to address the stereotypes and improve circumstances. Therefore\, she invited women from all ethnic backgrounds to wear the hijab for a day to foster religious tolerance and cultural understanding. She called this global event ‘World Hijab Day.’ This event is commemorated in over 150 countries every February 1st. https://websitewww.worldhijabday.org \n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n\n\nClick here to buy tickets\nSell tickets online with Ticket Tailor
